This girl is an absolute badass. Searched everywhere to find an easy way to secure a dock to land. These video's have been super helpful. Thanks so much!
You are a rock star! I was looking for a half hour on how to do this and they weren’t the best videos. Your video got right down to business and did a great job of explaining everything
Wow... Just Woooowwwwwww....... I got to build one of these dont care how long it lasts on sea front but who cares if i can have one day on it, it would be sooooooooooooooooooo satisfying to last me a life a time........ Thanks again for great tips, it looks wonderful... Happy family's.
@@dcwoodworks yea I’m huge fan always been watching your videos. I’m thinking about building a deck just little nervous about the whole leveling and posts stuff haha
DC WOODWORKS hi, good night over here! yes, i want to build one too. we have a space that is on the edge of a lake that goes to the sea! your channel is wonderful! cheers
Thanks so much! I have no video experience just my iphone so i really appreciate this comment! Have you checked out anymore of my videos? I have tried to keep ALL of my DIY's short and to the point.
@@dcwoodworks I have! Everything on and related to building decks I could find as I will need to build one myself and have near zero experience woodworking :D
that was interesting since you show the 4 tape measure goes at the end of the 3 measure and not the other way around for the triangle five. You said you're not good at math - I don't know if that makes any difference which way is which for the tape measure. I guess not.
Great channel! I really like the design of the deck and rope railing feature. I'm also from NS looking to do something similar for a dock on the ocean. Do you think putting the deck posts on concrete piles (vs deck blocks + your larger concrete anchor) would accomplish the same thing? When you originally secured the dock to that large concrete block, were you planning on adding the deck? Thanks again for your insights!
Hey! Cool to see someone local on my comment section! I would do piles ALL DAY over blocks. This deck is small and it was for my parents and they didn’t want to spend much money on it so we chose blocks. Itll hold up great. But I would forever choose helical piles over blocks for longevity.
Awesome video your Dad and I would be best friends I do the same thing when I walk from the house down to my dock I pack my pockets and hold a beer in each hand. Then I just started taking the cooler lol. I love how you did the rocks. I have to redo my docks this spring my floating dock doesn't have enough floats but always wondered about the blue plastic drum because they are so much cheaper then the floats for the docks. I have a 12×16 floating attached to a 12x12 stationary dock. I'm thinking I would need about 8 drums to keep it a float with everyone on it.
haha thats the only way to head to the lake! I think 8 would be plenty! I do wish I had a few more on this one for tipping. it floats great with 8 people but it tips a bit if the weight isn't central
YOBI Ideas & Plans Thankyou! I did a separate video on how to build them. They are quite easy , I linked it for you. ruclips.net/video/SlM1r8Df8c8/видео.html
Curious about those deck block with 4x4 posts in them. How much does that deck wiggle considering those posts are just sitting loose in those deck block openings. I noticed when you were nailing on the double rim that even the nailer caused the deck to wobble.
Hey! Yea it will always be wobbly in the beginning without dug footings but it’s solid as a rock now. The reason I didn’t dig out footings was because this ground is full of rocks and we have never been able to get more then 18 inches deep without hitting. Doing it this way (which is still to code) allows the deck to be one solid structure vs frost heaving a post that wasn’t driven deep enough Hope that helps!!
Awesome! I have 1 question. Another video mentioned using 12" spacing vs 16" on your joists when you due 45 degree angles on your deck boards. I'm just learning here. Thanks for the video
it should be 4 feet under if its attached to a home, because the home has the footing and they will pull against each other as one heaves and the other doesn't, if its a stand alone structure it doesnt need to be under the frost line.
thanks for tutorial! i wanna do the same thing you did with 45 degress outer deck board but u didnt show how you did it. did u have to install another joist to able to nail the 45 degrees outer decking and then share the same joist with inside decking? or did u have enought space with rim joist to nail outer deck and still be able to nail the the ends of middle decking? i would appreciate if you can teach me how u did that part. im going to build my first deck just like yours and i dont want to avoid mistake as much as possible. thank you!
Hey! awesome Im glad you found my video helpful! The only area you need to add extra is near the ends I had to add some blocking. so basically a few pieces in between the joists going the opposite way. hope that helps!
and also how did you secure the post on the deck block? my 4x4 post is lose when i put on my deck block. i saw you put something on top of the post to hold the beam but i was wondering if you did the same thing at the bottom? thank you!
No definitely not overkill. Just an extra precaution. I just screwed mine in and being so close to the ground I didn’t feel they were nessicary but they are a good add on for sure!
I don't know why you didn't show the construction of the vertical posts to the deck?! I wanted to see how you attached those to make sure that they were strong and secure. Using the rope is a nice nautical detail.
yup they are! once the entire weight of the deck is built then the wont move. sometimes if you put footings in the ground they will attach a piece of steel to screw to, but this way works with gravity
Thanks mom. Love seeing families build stuff together. Making memories.
Glad you enjoyed it! I love making these kind of memories too!!

Thanks so much!!! I did the same thing so decided I had to record it. Glad I could help 💪🏽
That perimeter decking board is very smart and makes it look so much better.
Thanks!! yes It gives it such a much more clean edge look
@@dcwoodworks Easy on bare feet too

wtfgtfoyt amazing! Well good luck and just have patience. You’ll do great
Turned out great 👍🏻 Been wanting to get one of those scribing tools too! Been seeing em advertised all over RUclips last 2 months or so 👍🏻
same! and i caved and bought one (clearly lol) and its so worth it!
@@dcwoodworks do you have a link for it? I want to get the same one.
I think I love you! This tutorial is so perfect! Everything is so well explained and demonstrated! and I love all the little aesthetic features
Thanks! did you end up making one?
Great video! I appreciate that you broke it down for us beginners. It was ultra informative
Awesome! I am so glad you found it helpful :) I try to break all my videos down and think to myself what I would need to know if I was a beginner

Very good deck build, you've inspired me to go ahead and build my backyard deck. Thanks for sharing!
thats awesome I am so glad i could inspire you!
Looks fantastic!
Thanks so much! It might have been my favourite build. Especially by the water :)
Square is a must.. because it's definitely gonna show up at the end of the day
Absolutely!!

Great video! Thank you! Question - what kind of screws did you use to screw in the joists to the rim joist?
Thanks! I just used
Exterior deck screws
Great job
Thanks so much!
Beautiful!

hm. maybe? I did have to add in some small supports near the end but the rest of it a year later is still just as strong
not deep under frost line would that be a problem in the winter such that things may move?
it should be 4 feet under if its attached to a home, because the home has the footing and they will pull against each other as one heaves and the other doesn't, if its a stand alone structure it doesnt need to be under the frost line.
pathogen theorem rocks! I use it for rafter layouts too. I love stick framing!
Its the only math i understood as a kid/teen! haha now it is so useful!
How come the wood that goes in the deck block is so wobbly does it batter
its only wobbly as I get it in place and then the more the deck gets built, the weight holds it down
thanks for tutorial! i wanna do the same thing you did with 45 degress outer deck board but u didnt show how you did it. did u have to install another joist to able to nail the 45 degrees outer decking and then share the same joist with inside decking? or did u have enought space with rim joist to nail outer deck and still be able to nail the the ends of middle decking? i would appreciate if you can teach me how u did that part. im going to build my first deck just like yours and i dont want to avoid mistake as much as possible. thank you!

Thank you for another wonderful job amazing :-) & thank you for being so fine DC ;-*
You’re welcome glad you like the video!
how large is the framing and the joist
the joists are 2 x10s at 16 inches on canter.

Thanks for subbing I really appreciate it!
and also how did you secure the post on the deck block? my 4x4 post is lose when i put on my deck block. i saw you put something on top of the post to hold the beam but i was wondering if you did the same thing at the bottom? thank you!
hey! I didn't put anything, the weight of it should hold it down.
Is it unnecessary to have concrete deck anchors under the joist, am I overkilling the deck?
No definitely not overkill. Just an extra precaution. I just screwed mine in and being so close to the ground I didn’t feel they were nessicary but they are a good add on for sure!
I don't know why you didn't show the construction of the vertical posts to the deck?! I wanted to see how you attached those to make sure that they were strong and secure. Using the rope is a nice nautical detail.
I did show it! I used PL premium and GRK bolts
One Battery but how many charges did you do?
One! For this deck

أنتِ رائعة . 👍🏻👌🏻

Jesus, the tear out on those nautical posts is pretty bad considering you used a forstner bit
yup lol. They were quite saturated.
Wow
have a great day!!
Did you take up building course in school?
Roberto Forbes yes I went to school for two years I am a licensed carpenter
Do you have Instagram?

Are those 4x4 posts just held into the deck footings by gravity? I've looked everywhere online and cant find an answer... thank you
yup they are! once the entire weight of the deck is built then the wont move. sometimes if you put footings in the ground they will attach a piece of steel to screw to, but this way works with gravity
@@dcwoodworks You are awesome... thank you very much
